Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 5/5] tracing/osnoise: Fix null-ptr-deref in bitmap_parselist()
Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2025 18:17:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250906221813.158065018@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250906221751.054623340@kernel.org
From: Wang Liang <wangliang74@huawei.com>
A crash was observed with the following output:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 92 Comm: osnoise_cpus Not tainted 6.17.0-rc4-00201-gd69eb204c255 #138 PREEMPT(voluntary)
RIP: 0010:bitmap_parselist+0x53/0x3e0
Call Trace:
<TASK>

</TASK>
This issue can be reproduced by below code:
fd=open("/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/cpus", O_WRONLY);
write(fd, "0-2", 0);
When user pass 'count=0' to osnoise_cpus_write(), kmalloc() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR (16) and cpulist_parse() treat it as a normal value, which
trigger the null pointer dereference. Add check for the parameter 'count'.
